==================================
Using the local web server
==================================
ScummVM can run a local web server (LAN), to simplify the transfer of game files, saved games and configuration files between devices on the same network. This is a good option if you do not want to use the Cloud, or if ScummVM for your platform does not have cloud functionality.
.. note::
LAN functionality is not supported on all platforms.
This guide explains how to set up and run a local web server.
From the Launcher, select **Options**, click the **>** scroll arrow until the LAN tab is visible, and then select the **LAN** tab.
Click **Run server** to start the server.

The LAN tab, with the server running.
To access the server, type the URL shown into the address bar of any web browser:
.. figure:: ../images/cloud_and_lan/LAN_server.png
The server's browser interface.
To download a file, click on the file to open the system download dialog.
To create a new directory, click **Create Directory**.

Create a new directory
To upload files, click **Upload Files** and select files from the system file browser.
.. figure:: ../images/cloud_and_lan/LAN_server_upload.png
Upload files
To change which files are accessible on the web server, set the **/root/ Path** to the directory containing the files you wish to access. You can access anything inside that directory, but you cannot access its parent directory. On some platforms ScummVM automatically sets the **/root/ Path**, but on some other platforms you need to configure this manually before running the web server for the first time.
To stop the web server, click **Stop server** to stop the server, or click **Ok** to close the settings dialog.
